fall in Western Canada
fall in Western Canada
It's lovely Roselaine! :D I didn't think your trees would be showing change already......what's the coolest temp been so far?
I'll include mine in here....I'm not sure if it will finish changing color or if the leaves will just freeze and die. Crimson King Maple I was told is it's name, I know it should be growing in zone 5 (at least). Some years it gets to a nice size but when the nasty winters come it suffers a severe die back.
I am convinced the plants just abandon their zonal qualities when they enter your garden, Pam !!!
Maybe it is because I was born under the sign of the Taurus Lynn????? ;)
Very beautiful, Roselaine, Lilypon
Is everybody enjoying sunshine now?
I probably will be busy pulling weed this weekend.
My devil's walking stick ( aralia spinosa)got huge.
Does anyone want this plant? Anybody is welcome to dig..
It is too big to ship. ....

You always post beautiful pictures but there is a problem with your pictures, please always rotate the pictures before posting. It is very difficult for us to watch these properly, just open your picture and rotate those then send here.
Thanks
Oh sorry,..
I just start posting pic. I didn't know how to fix it.
I will study how to do it .
I did it!
I was ashamed but I even didn't know the technique.
Thanks for telling me gumlla.
It is so nice to learn new thing.
Here is citrus junos(yuzu)

Don't be ashamed......everyone is a newbie at some time Yumiko. Our forum isn't the PDB....it's just a place to learn, talk, have fun and grow with one another.
And, of course, complain about our weather.....BC'ers excluded!! ;)
Yumiko I was curious about your Citrus juno so went looking for it in the PDB.....I couldn't find any information on it. Looks like yours could be the first. :)
Isn't it a wonderful feeling to learn the simplest new skill on these machines with which we have a love/hate relationship! Nothing can make me feel as small and insignificant as a piece of electronic equipment. And I feel 12 feet tall every time I figure out ANYTHING that seems obvious to most of the rest of the world.
Yuzu (citrus Juno) is probably one of the most hardy citrus family.
Fruit is size of mandarin orange ( hana yuzu is ping pong ball size)which has
wonderful fragrance. Fruit are edible but not eaten as fruit. It is too sour, and we use for cooking.
We had a proverb that Peach and chestnut takes 3 years to produce, persimmon takes 8 years,
stupid yuzu takes 18 years!
I have this plant for 7 years, and I have not seen flower yet.
It has very spiky thorn. When I break thorn, it release nice citrus scent.
I remember you are asking about lemon grass.
You really like citrus scent plant, don't you? Have you tried kaffir( I don't know how to spell)
lime leaf which use for thai food.
Sounds like you have nice set up in your basement, I thought you might want to try .
Jagonjune,
Yes it is wonderful.
There are so many thing about PC and if you don't know the key word you don't know
where to start. I even didn't think the word "rotating"
If you notice something odd about my reply, please let me know.

No problem, when I joined DG ,I know nothing, different members told me different things, here members are very loving, don't be ashamed. I am also like you. Here daily we learn ne lessons, new techniques.
I am fascinated with them Yumiko. I saw a lemon tree with huge lemons growing in a Greek restaurant in Drumheller last summer.
I love the use of aromatics in cooking! One of my favorite cookbooks is one titled:
Terrific Pacific Cookbook
by Anya Von Bremzen, John Welchman
I have found the Kaffir leaves (love them) but find the wide rice noodles used in the soup pho are sometimes difficult to track down. Now that I have the book on my lap the recipe for Chilled Lemongrass Cream Soup with Pineapple and Kiwi has captured my eye (and stomach)! ;) We had a wonderful young man from Vietnam that ran a local restaurant.....he got me addicted to all these exotic flavors and then one of the huge hotels in Toronto snapped him up and I was in mourning until I found this cookbook.

I'm learning so much from your postings, Yumiko. Thank you!
Especially enjoyable because it's raining here today... :-(

Yumiko, I had my camera for about 6 months and just could not understand how to send photos. Finally someone from our Manitoba cold zone list came over to show me. And then, I didn't know about rotating pictures either. Right now I'm trying to learn how to send word documents to people. I have to go to local computer shop with text on a disk and then they send it for me. Lots to learn with all these new things. Thank goodness for DG. Everyone is so helpful.
Ah me.
Inanda
Inanda use the paper clip in your email program which then opens us your directory. You double click on the file you wish to attach and then send. This works for all file types. You only have to be sure the recipient has the appropriate software to view the file. Little more difficult with Adobe and other less well distributed software but pretty much everyone has word.
Thanks everyone. Everboday is so nice here.
It is becoming my healing,relaxing place now.
Today, I went to my friend's house and I found lemongrass growing there.
She kept the end part of lemon grass which purchased at grocery store, and
propagated from that. I thought Lilypon might want to try.
I purchased lemon grass from Richter. The plant was very healty but very very tiny........
Was the lemon tree in the greek restaurant outside or inside?
I woulld love to try growing lemon.
(small voice) My husband stole lemon from lemon plant in the nursery.
When he cut the lemon in the house, the fragrance released whole kitchen area.
Big difference from the store bought lemon. It was so nice and I went back to the nursery to buy that plant.
The lemon plant was $120 and I did not buy. I should try propagete one.
Have you tried propagate citrus?
I'll be looking for fresh lemongrass the next time I'm in Regina.....certainly won't hurt to give it a try. :)
The lemon tree was growing inside the restaurant in front of a bright window. I don't know what variety it was but the lemons were larger than what I see in the stores. No I haven't tried propagating citrus myself. Eventually you might want to post that question in the propagation forum:
http://davesgarden.com/forums/f/propagation/
Yumiko there is a fellow by the name of Jim Kennard who does great work in growing veggies by propagation rather than seed. Here is a link (I hope - I've never actually tried this before) to a discussion we had in the late winter/spring for some people. Your lemongrass might work in the same way the leeks do.
Ok it didn't work so pam how do you do the link to the other threads?? Learning time for the challenged.

Yumiko on propagating lemons from seed I found this thread:

Lynn I'm not sure where you were linking to...... the link doesn't work for me.

thanks Lilypon
You're welcome. :)
that was just me playing to see how it worked - it linked right back to this thread
Wind has removed most of the leaves but here are a few fall shots.
and another (these are the back yard)
the rhody in her winter wrap
What is the name of your red bush Lynn?
Your rhody's winter wrap certainly explains why it does so well for you.
One of the few trees left in town that still has color (and leaves). I'm pretty sure it's a type of Mountain Ash (has orange berries).
amanita
pretty but very poisonous mushroom

Yumiko I really look forward to seeing your pictures.....what a lovely, but deadly, mushroom!
I hope you will post that one in the plant database.
Thanks Lilipon.
Did you have happy thanksgiving day?
I was in the bush all morning. Good exercise walking up on the hill.
Here is chantrelle.
I am stuffed! We had a wonderful day... thank you for asking. :) I think we should have this kind of feast at lunch so I could exercise some of it off.
It looks like your day was very profitable.....those mushrooms look very yummy.
Looking at your picture of the Amanita reminds me of a trip my family made to Christina Lake when I was a child. I remember seeing mushrooms similar to the one you posted above and other colorful ones with a flat top as well. I think I was 5, at the time, and I remember thinking they looked like jewels in the forest....my parents were very quick to point out how deadly they were.

Yum, yumiko. I can just taste those chanterelles. I love them in stuffing for a cornish hen or small chicken with a wild mushroom sauce.
Lilipon, I am glad you had wonderful thanksgiving day
This mushroom was outstanding in the forest.
It was a size of melon! and there were lot od crabapple size amanita too
They are perfect looking almost look like artificial.
Jagonjune, chanterelles with chicken sounds very yummy.
wild mushroom sauce, yumyum .
This is the first year we picked so much of mushroom.
I wish I can show you the area.
I went to mushroompicking with professor last weekend.
We were taking about morrel mushroom. He told me morrel come
after fresh burn or sometimes clearing land as well.
The one I ate from my yard could be morrel. That was a first year
we did landscaping.
